Irene and Cornelia are two wealthy sisters who hire Godfrey as their butler. During his time serving the family, Godfrey is constantly pulled between both sisters who are trying to win his attention. Cornelia, being the eldest and who "always wins" as her sister would say, was more malicious in her quest for Godfrey's attention. She attempted to plant evidence of him stealing from her and practically blackmailed him later on (or attempted to, anyways). Then we have Irene, who was the ditsy, head-over-heals in love with Mr. Godfrey, younger sister. Throughout the movie she'd chase after Godfrey and pretend to faint if he was to leave. Godfrey, being the ever so patient and clever man he was, would simply brush off both of the girl's attempts and continue his duties. The ending of the movie proved to be the best part, with Godfrey saving Bullock family from destitution with stocks he had bought over the course of his employment. He gave the money to the Bullock family and assured them his debt was paid to them, as the Bullock family took him in when he needed it most. It just goes to show that you should never judge a book by its cover.
